    Yavapai County Sheriff's OfficePrescott AZ (June 30, 2020) – Today, June 30, marks the 7th anniversary of the tragic deaths of 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots in Yarnell – As such, we would like to share a beautiful tribute in song to these heroes composed by Mr. John Wurtz.

    Mr. Wurtz has volunteered his time and talent in recent years to YCSO’s Right-by-Kids / Deputy Do-Right Safety program during several community and school presentations. John also works behind the scenes to help with YCSO’s July Prescott parade entry. The Sheriff’s Office truly appreciates his commitment to others and this special tribute to our fallen 19…

    ***
    On a hillside charred and black
    A day we all would like to have back
    No color left within our view
    Except for the flags of red, white, and blue…

    Giving all the ultimate price
    Friends and neighbors gathered close
    To honor those they loved the most

    Chorus —

    And now there’s – 19 Angels looking down…
    The last alarm was a deafening sound…
    For 19 Angels watching over you and me…
    Now your wings have set you free..

    20 men ran up that hill
    On that June day in the town of Yarnell
    They fought the fires that raged from hell
    One came back but 19 fell

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Words they come and words they go
    There are no words to let you know
    I thank you all — your sacrifice
    Remembering you the rest of my life
    (pause) I Thank You!

    (to Chorus)

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
